17.7 Legacy Series / Losing Default Gateway when Release/Renew of DHCP based port
« on: January 11, 2018, 03:09:39 am »
Is a known issue or something bad on my setup/steps?
Using OPNsense 17.7.11-amd64 with PPPOE, I'm able to click RELEASE followed by RENEW on the INTERFACES:OVERVIEW page on the specific port and all works as expected after that.
However, when doing that RELEASE / RENEW on a DHCP connection (not pppoe), the link comes up, gets an IP, but no surfing is possible!
Comparing netstat -rn, before/after, shows that a single line is missing..... for the default gateway!
default x.y.z.q UGS igb1
The solution is to ssh into the opnsense box, and add a default gateway, e.g:
route add default x.y.z.q
and boom immediately all works fine..
Any thoughts welcomed..
